Purple Hyacinths

We worked in the garden today as much as two kids would allow. Actually TJ was the chosen one for getting his hands dirty and doing the labor. I had to keep my hands somewhat clean to swoop in and pick up Cami at an instance of warning. I really can't quite imagine playing outside all day without the play set.

Early this morning, i was inside while Cami was sleeping, so that i could get some laundry done. TJ was out with the bug. All of a sudden as i am folding a pair of jeans, i hear "mama! mama!" and a knock at the door. I opened to find this. . . Jaely holding a bowl full of hyacinths. It made me so incredibly happy. I said yesterday that i should cut some so i could enjoy them inside because i don't make it to the back very often during the week. I loved that she gave them to me with a big smile on her face. They are making our room smell unbelievable!
We are spreading mulch this year on the back gardens to help me with the weeds. I just couldn't keep up last year. It is the perfect time to do it because we got paid three times in the month of April. Hooray! I still have a gift card to Weesies that i am itching to spend. I am going to buy some flowers to replace the ones that got wrecked from the flood. I am so excited!!! The lower garden will have flowers once again!
